October turned out to be an excellent month for books! I didn’t get to nearly as many as I wanted to (my TBR was soooo out of control), but everything I read was rated four stars and up. You can’t really ask for more than that! Here are the books I read this month, and they’re linked to my reviews:
The Chain House by J.H. Markert
Mazywood by Tananarive Due
The Porcelain Sisters by Daryl Gregory
Find Me Where It Ends by Cassandra Khaw
The Killing of a Chestnut Tree by Oliver K. Langmead
Entities to Lovers by Mallory Marlowe
Night of the Mallrats by Nicolina Torres
A Waltz of Sinister Import by Stephanie Burgis
Off the Reservation by Stephen Graham Jones
It Looks Like You in the Dark by Mathilda Zeller

I haven’t done this in a long time, but I’m bringing it back! Here are my top five viewed posts for October. Not much change from last month! The first three lists are still pretty popular, probably because it’s spooky season. And Whalefall doesn’t surprise me because the movie recently came out.

Find Me Where it Ends looks so good! I’m trying to go through the library for it, but the itch to splurge and grab a copy is strong.
Nice to see all your 4 and 5 star books! It makes sense that your Whalefall review has popped back up — have you seen (or are you planning to see) the movie? Hope you have just as great a November!
Trying to decide if I could read Chain House. I deal with plenty of gruesome in some mysteries.
I need to read Mazywood!
Great job in October!
Great job in October! We had drastically different months, but I’m glad you got your TBR more under control!
You’ve had a great month for reading!
